About this study

Official title: A Relative Bioavailability Study of Quinine Sulfate Capsules 324mg Under Fasting and Fed Conditions

The purpose of this study is to evaluate and compare the relative bioavailability of Quinine Sulfate capsules following a single, oral dose in healthy volunteers under fasting and fed conditions.

Read the detailed description

The purpose of this study is to evaluate and compare the relative bioavailability of Quinine Sulfate capsules following a single, oral dose in healthy volunteers under fasting and fed conditions.

Twenty-two healthy, non-smoking, non-obese, male and female volunteers between the ages of 18 and 45 years of age will be randomly assigned in a crossover fashion to receive each of two Quinine Sulfate dosing regimens in sequence with a 7 day washout period between dosing periods. On the morning of Day 1, subjects will receive either a single oral dose of Quinine Sulfate (2 x 324 mg capsules) following an overnight fast of at least 10 hours, or a single oral dose of Quinine Sulfate (2 x 324 mg capsules) 30 minutes after a standardized, high-fat breakfast. After a 7 day washout period, on the morning of Day 8, subjects will receive the alternate regimen. Blood samples will be drawn from all participants before dosing and for 48 hours post-dose to adequately define the pharmacokinetics of Quinine Sulfate. A further goal of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of this regimen in healthy volunteers. Subjects will be monitored throughout the confinement portion of the study for adverse reactions to the study drug and/or procedures. Blood pressure and heart rate will be measured prior to dosing and at 1, 2, 4 and 12 hours after each dose and at study exit. A 12 lead electrocardiogram (EKG) will be recorded at study check-in and at 2, 4, 6, 12 and 24 hours after dose administration. All adverse events whether elicited by query, spontaneously reported, or observed by clinic staff will be evaluated by the Investigator and reported in the subject's case report form.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Maximum Plasma Concentration (Cmax) for Quinine Sulfate

    The maximum or peak concentration that Quinine Sulfate reaches in the plasma.

    Measured: serial pharmacokinetic plasma concentrations were drawn prior to dose administration (0 hour) and at 0.5, 1, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 12, 16, 24, 36 and 48 hours after drug administration.

  2. Area Under the Concentration Versus Time Curve From Time 0 to Time t [AUC(0-t)] for Quinine Sulfate

    The area under the plasma concentration versus time curve, from time 0 to the time of the last measurable concentration (t), as calculated by the linear trapezoidal rule.

    Measured: serial pharmacokinetic plasma concentrations were drawn prior to dose administration (0 hour) and at 0.5, 1, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 12, 16, 24, 36 and 48 hours after drug administration.

  3. Area Under the Concentration Versus Time Curve From Time 0 Extrapolated to Infinity [AUC(0-∞)] for Quinine Sulfate

    The area under the plasma concentration versus time curve from time 0 to infinity. AUC(0-∞) was calculated as the sum of AUC(0-t) plus the ratio of the last measurable plasma concentration to the elimination rate constant.

    Measured: serial pharmacokinetic plasma concentrations were drawn prior to dose administration (0 hour) and at 0.5, 1, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 12, 16, 24, 36 and 48 hours after drug administration.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Quinine Sulfate 2 x 324 mg Capsules in people with Healthy, run by Mutual Pharmaceutical Company, Inc..

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 14 inclusion and 18 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Feb 2010. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 3 Feb 2010). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Maximum Plasma Concentration (Cmax) for Quinine Sulfate (time frame: serial pharmacokinetic plasma concentrations were drawn prior to dose administration (0 hour) and at 0.5, 1, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 12, 16, 24, 36 and 48 hours after drug administration.). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 3 Feb 2010.
